OK…I have my (super)dumb flip-phone turned off unless I’m leaving the house, because I don’t want to charge it every three days. I turned it on now to see if I got the famous tRump text, and nada.

I get text messages—a few accounts when I change the password (“If you didn’t do this, blah, blah, blah”) and somebody texts me in Romanian a few times a year (dunno what that’s about)—so I was expecting to see a text when I turned the phone on, but nothing, and nothing in the inbox.

Does it only work for “smart” phones? That’s Harry Turtledove’s theory, I notice above.
